October 2009: Paint Made Flesh

Behind the Scenes: Paint Made Flesh

Installing the very large works in Paint Made Flesh was a challenge, but MAG’s exhibitions and facilities staff were up to the task. In mid-October, 2009, a team of art installers was called in to help with the heavy lifting, and the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, which organized the show, sent two staff members to oversee the installation. The entire process took 2-1/2 days. Among the works: Jenny Saville’s monumental canvas Hyphen, shown at left.
